"The decision on defending the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine was made by the RF Security Council ... I consider it a direct interference in the internal affairs of Ukraine and an element of hybrid aggression. And we clearly understand the threats in this regard. The Synod of the Russian Church has decided to break off the Eucharistic dialogue with the Ecumenical Patriarchate," Petro Poroshenko said.

During a meeting on the state of implementation of the housing construction program for servicemen in Lviv region, President Petro Poroshenko stressed that it should be clearly stipulated that service housing cannot be privatized.

The President also had dinner with the military. "Everyone should note the quality and efficiency of using the new food system," Petro Poroshenko said.

"During the construction of 16 dormitories, the Ministry of Defense had to terminate contracts due to the fact that light fingers tried to either raise prices or steal money. Those contractors who hinder us from implementing a program of social protection for servicemen, who disrupt tenders, who steal advance payments, who are trying to undermine the timing of contract work. The law enforcement bodies must provide maximum assistance to the Ministry of Defense in the fight against those who steal government money or unfairly perform their duties. We will not allow playing tricks with the army," the Head of State addressed the law enforcement agencies.

The Head of State reminded that mock-ups were demonstrated a year ago, and now there is an opportunity to inspect the first dormitories. "We agreed that we will not call them barracks. Because it's not a barrack. Today, when you enter the room, the block, there is an opportunity to take a shower, there is a bathroom and normal conditions, when two or three soldiers will be in the room. They have an opportunity to rest normally and prepare for the next day. And they have no problems other than concentrating on military training," the President emphasized.
